Cauliflower Row Claims
Dream of Bygone Champ
By OSCAR FRALEY
(United Preu Sport. Writer)
New York, Jan. (U.R) The
wild and wasted years had
caught up to Lew Jenkins today
and the comeback dreams of
another tumbled champion were
ground into the grimy fabric
of the prize ring.
It didn't look like much of a
story if you read it in terse
language of the fight results.
Simply:
"Walt Haines, 13914, New
York, decisioned Lew Jen
kins, 138 '2, Philadelphia (8)."
But it speaks a sad and mel
ancholy volume to the fight
mob. For that brief history of a
minor skirmish doesn't tell that
Jenkins, one-time lightweight
champion of the world, was able
to win but one round on one
judge's score sheet against a
weak-hitting youngster who
cruldn't have stepped into the
ring with him in the old days.
Nor does it tell of the swift
rise, the swifter fall or the shat
tered hopes of the guy once
known as "Looney Lew."
Lew started fighting when
he was 17. He was a gaunt
faced killer with long, thick
arms offset incongruously by
skinny legs and knobby knees.
And how he could hit!
So Jenkins rocketed up into
the big time and pounded out
$250,000 with those mauling
fists, winning the lightweight
title by knocking out Lou Am
bers in three rounds. He was on

New York, Jan. Bill

current job of arranging spec

some fireworks left in Cleve

top of the world but, like so
many others, couldn't stand
success.
They told him he was a su
perman, and Lew believed
them. He rode motorcycles
with reckless abandon; had
more fights out of the ring
than he did in it and while he
didn't drink the distilleries
dry he had them working
nights.
Lew scorned training and,
for a time, got away with it.
He came off a four-day bender
to knock out Tippy Larkin.
So Lew went along, also ag
gravated by a hectic married
life, on the top for a while
against guys he claimed were
"just ordinary critters." But in
1941, the fine edge slipped from
his punching power and he lost
the crown to Sammy Angott.
From there it was all downhill.
Soon Lew was fighting spo
radically; then not at all.
There came a hitch in the
army and recently Lew start
ed a comeback. This, they
said was a new Jenkins. He
had remarried, had a baby
son, swapped the motorcycles
for an automobile and no
longer haunted the primrose
path. He won 15 of 21 fights
and they were building him
up for a shot at the title.
The kid named Walt Haines
took care of that. One judge
and the referee didn't give
Jenkins even one round. The
other judge gave him one of the
eight.

Olympics Help
House Finns
By BOB LINDSAY
(AP New.te.ture.)
Helsinki The Olympic Games
of 1952 will help to ease Fin
land's acute postwar housing
shortage.
One month after the games are
over, the Olympic Village at
Helsinki will be taken over by
Finnish families.
Financed by loans from the
Finnish Republic and Helsinki, a
private company will build 800
apartments in the village. By
buying a small shareholding in
the company now, Finns already
have insured tenancy later.
A similar Olympic Village
built for the 1940 games, never
held because of war, has been
occupied by 900 Finnish fan.ilies
since 1939. The new village is
located close to the old. Both
are within 25 minutes' walk of
the main stadium.
There will be room for 70,000
spectators at the Great Stadium
where track and field events and
important football matches will
be played.
The swimming pool located
close to the Great Stadium, in
cludes accommodations for 8,000
spectators. Machinery for purl
fying and heating the water ii
expected soon from England.
Similar type machinery, ordered
from England for the 1940
games was lost when the ship
carrying it was sunk by a Ger
man submarine.
, The games will run from
July 19 through August 3, 1952.
Organizers are planning ar
rangements to cope with the
40,000 foreign visitors and 200,-

Serum Needed
For Measles
One of the contributions from
the blood program is immune
serum globulin used for the
modification or prevention of
measles, and sources for this ma
terial had been limited until the
blood program was set up.
In a letter to Dr. W. J. Stone,
county health office, Dr. Maur
ice D. Vest of the state board
of health, maternal and child
health section, says:
The American Red Cross is
still giving us a limited amount
of immune serum globulin for
the modification or prevention
of measles. The former source
of this material surplus plasma,
has been exhausted and we are
now dependent upon blood re
ceived at the Red Cross blood
bank.
"I understand that the mobile
unit visits Salem periodically
and you may wish to remind the
public of the need for this blood.
I have been told that it takes
about one pint of blood to pro
